Many use: "Signing Smart with Babies and Toddlers" by Anthony & Lindert. We love it. Both my younger children (3) and (just 1) had more than 25 signs by 6 months. We started signing at birth.

It is not for everyone but worked well for our family.

Have fun.

WOW! My baby is 6 mo. and I didn't even know that she had the capacity to sign (she's not signing, yet). We did a little sign with my toddler between 10 mo. and 1 year, but he only did 2 or 3 signs regularly. As soon as he started talking (and he is a TALKER!!) he stopped signing. I will definitely be getting that book!

That is just AMAZING! I wish I could remember all the signs that I know I've learned and seen. I bought a signing kit - and it came with a poster, so I'll have to put it up somewhere so we all can see it all the time.
